As of 16th December... www.nrl.com/news/news/newsarticl ... fault.aspx I hope Brisbane can crack 15,000. Also hope to see the other teams see increases too.

How come the storm haven't started selling yet...

Great news on gold coast.

souths have 9800 ticketed and 14,500 total memberships atm

their targets are 14,000 and 20,000 respecitvely

Well they've got 2 more coming in a week.

Have the tigers announce where their playing their games yet?

not in queensland thats 4 sure

Their having a bit of a nightmare up there, I wonder if the nrl all star game will go ahead?

I meant wests home games, which rounds are at leicardt and sfs?

we probably wont know until 3 weeks b4 the season starts

oh thought you were joking

campbelltown and leichardt oval get 3 each i think

SFS gets the rest except one or two at the SCG

Looks like they've changed it this season

4 leicardt
4 campbelltown
3sfs
1scg

thats a dead set mess

At least they've spread the campbelltown games out, unlike last season.

whilst i appreciate heritage Wests have to start weaning people of crumbling stadiums that reduce their crowds. If it rains they'll be lucky to get 14k at 8 games compared to their avg at decent stadiums of over 18k

if they stopped playing at laicjhhardt oval, the fans would kick up a stink

and i think they should be playing more games out at campbelltown

indeed its support it the club moved out there fulltime, weve got enough clubs in the inner city

unless they can find $200mill to do it up or guarantee Sunday afternoon games with good weather your dreaming! The future is in big shared modern stadia, not crumbling suburban parks.

Surprised by Tigers low membership given they are in the top 3 attendance Sydney clubs.

saying the future is big grounds is like saying Hull Kr have to play at the KC

its not necessarily true

some clubs will value their traditional grounds only only play big derby games at places like homebush or sfs

NRL will be played at leichhardt oval for 100 years hence, nothing changing there

haha, keep living in the NSWRL past, hopefully the Sydney clubs are finally waking up to the future and hovels like Leichhardt will be consigned to the annals of Winfield Cup glory where they belong.

The problem with that is opposition teams(specially those that play in the big stadiums) hate going to Koograh, Brookie, Leichardt, Cambelltown, Shark Park and usually have poor records at those grounds.

Take the Broncos for example they have an ordinary record at Brookie and only won for the first time there last season in ages.

So the question is if you go for those teams would prefer 18,000 at ANZ and it looks pathetic (watch a Souths/or Doggies game) or a near full suburban ground that is jumping?

til youve been to leichardt you are trolling

craven park now thats a hovel

when its packed and got 17k on a sunny sunday afternoon I agree it is great, sadly when the weather turns those gates drop, sometime to less than 10k at some of these park grounds. That is no way to run a business and is embarrasing for a supposed top flight sport.

Within 10 years clubs like Tigers will be looking to regular 20K+ crowds, they will never get that at Leichardt or Campbeltown. Take a look at Tigers avg attendance at SFS or ANZ then at either of their other two grounds then tell me it makes sense to play in suburbia. The best supported teams in Sydney are playing out of modern stadia, wakey wakey.

ps when you've been to CP then make comment, hypocrite!

lol that you consider this a suitable venue for Australia's top sport in the 21st century!

jb the easiest solution is to go on LU - you post there - and start a thread asking for peoples advice

put in a poll and see how many agree with you

let me know how you go

ive been to cravn park as well.

when its raining new grounds look like dumps too

When will it be updated?
